Chemical Studies on Lustrous Particles in Epidermis of Hair-tail, Trichiurus haumela–′I. On the Chemical Constituents of Its Raw Particles

Abstract

The lustrous particles in epidermis of hair-tail has been utilized as a principal source of pearl essence in making imitation pearl in Japan. In the process of refining the raw particles3 first necessaries, of coures, will be to know the content and properties of impurities in the particles. But, little satisfactory analysis of the raw material was found out. Then, the writer attempted to investigate the chemical constituents of raw particles. In this paper, some peculiarities of them. © 1954, The Japanese Society of Fisheries Science. All rights reserved.
